A friend says to you, “I don’t understand how taxable temporary differences can be ‘liabilities’ and how deductible temporary differences can be ‘assets.’ It seems to me that these temporary differences relate only to the future and that accounting is based on ‘historical cost.’ In addition, the government frequently changes the tax laws, so no one knows what the future tax laws will be.”
Required:
Prepare a written response for your friend that explains why deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized and reported on a corporation’s balance sheet. Include a discussion of a valuation allowance.

Currently, the BIR Commissioner found out that the previous ruling was erroneous and reversed the same with a new BIR ruling. The BIR then issued tax assessment against Juan for purposes of collecting back taxes.Is the tax assessment against Juan correct?

- Property/casualty insurance companies have been criticized because they reserve for the total loss as much as 5 years before it may happen. The IRS has joined the debate because it says the full reserve is unfair from a taxation viewpoint. What can explain the IRS position?arrow_forwardIf a U.S. Tax Court agrees with the taxpayer on appeal that the IRS position was largely unjustified, which of the following is correct? The taxpayer must still pay administrative and litigation costs. The taxpayer may recover administrative but not litigation costs. The taxpayer may recover litigation but not administrative costs. To be eligible to recover some of the administrative and litigation costs, the taxpayer must have tried to resolve the case administratively, including going through the appeals process, and must have given the IRS the information necessary to resolve the case. None of the above.arrow_forwardWhile the only things certain in life may be death and taxes, how much taxes is certainly uncertain. In order for the tax benefits of an uncertain tax position to be recognized for financial reporting purposes, it must be more likely than not that the position will ultimately be upheld based solely on its technical merits. However, making such a judgment can be filled with, well, uncertainty. The basis for such a judgment may include judicial as well as legislative and administrative authority including court cases addressing positions similar to that taken by the taxpayer. But when a court has already ruled against the taxpayer, can it still be more likely than not that the taxpayer's position will be upheld? Several companies, including Whirlpool and Newell Brands, Inc. (the makers of Krazy Glue), after losing a case in Tax Court, have recently continued to recognize tax benefits related to the overturned positions. Another of those companies is Coca-Cola.

- Which ONE of the following statements is true regarding the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA's) right to reassess an income tax return? (a) A tax return may be reassessed at any time if the taxpayer made any misrepresentation that is attributable to carelessness. (b) A tax return for an individual may be reassessed within four years of the date on which the original assessment was mailed.arrow_forwardThe tax law requires that capital gains and losses be separated from other types of gains and losses. Among the reasons for this treatment are: a."Long-term capital gains may be taxed at a lower rate than ordinary gains" and "Net capital loss is deductible only up to $3,000 per year for individual taxpayers". b.Short-term capital losses are not deductible. c.Net capital loss is deductible only up to $3,000 per year for individual taxpayers. d.Long-term capital gains may be taxed at a lower rate than ordinary gains.arrow_forward14. If the taxpayer failed to pay the tax demanded per final assessment, the government may exercise several administrative remedies. Which of the following is not correct? Levy of real property of the taxpayer may be availed of only after distraint of personal property of taxpayer. Either distraint or levy may be pursued simultaneously once the assessment becomes final and demandable. If the tax assessed is P 100 and below, levy or distraint may not be availed of. The remedy of distraint of personal property may be repeated if necessary until the full amount due and all expenses are collected.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is incorrect? Assume that the rental activity is classified as ‘production-of-income.’ If the taxpayer sells the rental property later at a loss, the loss will be treated as a capital loss (i.e., $3,000/$1,500 deduction limit in the current year). An amount that would have been paid in an arm’s-length transaction is considered a reasonable amount as deduction. Payment (except for medical or educational expense) of another person’s obligation does not result in a tax deduction for the payer. Regarding the start-up costs, if the new business is in the same line of business as the existing one and if the new business is not launched, then none of the start-up costs are deductible. Payments for a speeding ticket are nondeductible. HELParrow_forwardTax preparers often have a difference of opinion with their clients as to how some transactions should be treated on a tax return.
